SLSF 4-6-0 #1404 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco) |
| Description: |
A fading original photo of the 1907 Burnham, Wms & Co built ten wheeler. According to www.steamlocomotives.com, "Very#few engines were delivered with this particular combination of bore and stroke. Few Ten-wheelers had cylinders this big in any case, yet their 13" piston valves actuated by the still-rare Walschaert's gear seem well-sized to keep up with demand. The 1400s were never converted to oil burning, although their boilers were superheated" Unknown photographer |
